The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) is to record a statement from Minister Ravi Karunanayake following an order by the Colombo Chief Magistrate Lanka Jayarathne.
The Colombo Chief Magistrate has directed Karunanayake to appear before the CID to record a statement on the allegation of providing false evidence to the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PcoI) probing the Central Bank Treasury bond scam.
Accordingly, Karunanayake has been ordered to appear before the CID within the next two weeks.
The directive comes soon after President Maithripala Sirisena instructed the Presidential Commission of Inquiry to expedite investigations on the 2015 bond scam at a meeting held at the President’s Secretariat on Wednesday (28).
Sirisena at the meeting said the delaying of the bond scam investigations was an impediment to implementing justice.
